Modern Day Pin-up Girls - WEEK 9

Ashley_Panda

I don't know if any of you watch Oprah ( I know I sure as hell don't ) but today there will be a Cochlear Implant user on! Pretty awesome stuff.


We didn't make it for our walk last night and I want to go weigh myself buuuut I'm trying not too. Lol. I think I'm going to go do a little Christmas shopping today to get out of the house and do day 4 of the 30 day shred later this afternoon. My legs are so sore from the last three days so trying to give them a little break instead of killing them first thing in the morning.

RachVR6

So. Sore. :laugh:

I really up'd the intensity of my run yesterday. My average heartrate for my 2.2mi of intervals was 179, and it's usually around 165. Yay!!

Great job Rach. Best cure for feeling a bit stiff is to get straight back out tonight!

So I've decided to go to my class tonight and now he wants to wait at my flat until I've finished. I'm being strong and said no!! Can't wait to get to class now and box away!

SweetPandora

Great job Rach!

Nam - Good for you, darn men, always want what they can't have when it's too late! Stay strong and be true to yourself!

Took a break from the workouts last night. Needed a break for the muscles. They were pretty sore from the kettlebell routines this week.

I'm really down right now. Can't seem to perk up at all. I can't even find the energy to eat the candy my son brought home from a Halloween party last week.

So on one hand, it's good. I'm not over eating. On the other hand, it's bad because I know I'm severely depressed and can't seem to find my way up and out.

Crossing my fingers it starts to improve soonish.

I had a "I-can't-believe-I-almost-didn't-run" run last night. It was REALLY good. 3 miles, 37min 25sec, so right at 12:30mm, and I felt pretty good the whole run, not like I was going to die or anything. I might try to push myself closer to a 12mm on Friday.

Nam - GOOD FOR YOU! I have one of those in my life, and I always give in... so not worth it!!!

Hello everyone! Today is crazy for me....I am sooo stressed over getting all these costumes...well the one I am not done with...finished.....argh!! What I have done is looking great, but I have to go get more foam and I can't till my husband gets home (payday)...that leaves me tomorrow to finish since I will be gone all day Sat. I suppose if I don't get it done....I can stay up sat night and sun morning I have to have faith in myself. The lower half is almost done.

At least it keeps my hands busy so the stress does not lead to eating That is a god thing....cause normally it would. It has been keeping me from exercising though and that sucks....I just get so caught up in it lose track of time....last might I was up till 3 am and didn't even realize it. lol. But at least I got both the legs done

I'm feeling super good today. Got some awesome Christmas presents for my hubby, surprise ones at that! Makes it so much more fun. Did day 4 of the shred and don't feel like I'm going to die!

I was JUST thinking about how I need to go shopping for presents. I'm internet browsing right now. My bf is no help. He said just pay some of what he owes on his drumset but that's no fun! I need to get him things to open!

epa422

Oooh, Rach if he's got a drum set, you could get some accessories for pretty cheap. I got my husband a drum set for Christmas last year and for his birthday this past week, I got him some brushes (for my own sanity, really...) and a music stand. It just depends on what he already has. But sticks and brushes and muffles are all reasonable and combined together would be a great present for a drummer.

RachVR6

Well he still has about $2100 to pay on the set. (It's a 7-piece Pearl Masters Custom!) so I know he wants that paid so he can take it home more than anything. His 10yr old 4-piece pearl set is barely hanging on. I plan on getting him some sticks because he goes through them fairly quickly. He wants a bag that goes over his stool to put spare sticks in (for when he drops them during a song) but I can only find one kind and it's $55!! I could make one custom to him sooo much cheaper but I don't have a sewing machine anymore.

Hmmm.

Oh no I'm sorry you're feeling so down. Wish I could help you! Maybe if do more than cross your fingers? Take a walk with your son, or just have a dance party or something in the house with him. It'll get you moving and the two of you could have a really good time together.

I hope you feel better soon!

hope everyone's doing well.. weigh-in was the same for me this week. 168.5.. ugh i had some personal probs this week and went out to dinner twice, so the scale was up this morning, though hopefully just due to water weight.

RachVR6

Bought some really cute red heels last night!! I've been on the lookout for a pair for a year or two, but never found any I reeeally liked. Last night i found some cute ones at journeys and HAD to get them. Perfect for my halloween outfit too! I'm taking my chucks along though, because I'm sure I'm not going to last very long heels, especially if heavy drinking is involved. :laugh:

I can't wait to see pics from those who get to dress up this Halloween!! I am not going anywhere, that I know of, so I'm pretty sure I won't be dressing up.

Rach, how are you doing your hair? Or did you get a wig?

I was bored yesterday, so I attempted an older hair style...

RachVR6

Love the hair!! Too cute!!

My boyfriend wants me to do my hawk. I kinda do a poofy teased mowhawk thing. My hair is still too short to do a more traditional pin-up style.

Cina04

I was going to dress up for Halloween but seems like my husband has to work.

He wasn't planning to dress up but I'm not going to walk around in a sexy costume and not have my hubby around LOL

So there goes 50.00 bucks! LOL

Wow that looks amazing! How did you do that? I have fine straight hair and can never get it in a style other than straight

I used this video to help style my hair, except I left the back down. It's pretty easy and my hair is very straight.

Happy Friday Pin-Ups!

Bru - your hair is beautiful!

Enjoy the weekend everyone!

Work has me a bit irritated and I'm grumpy because I don't feel like running tonight. Hmph.

On the brightside, my jeans are a bit looser than usual. :flowerforyou:

I've never been good at saying this, so I will just come out and say it, Nicks grandma passed away this afternoon due to what they think was a massive heart attack. Please keep us in your thoughts. The hardest part is explaining to Grandpa what has happened, Nick's mom and uncles are trying to do that right now. Grandpa has no idea at this point and is going to take it hard as he wasn't well enough to see her. She was suppose to visit him in rehab today and we found out that he has blood in his urine and is going back to the hospital. Please conitnue to pray for him. I hope he fights but we all think he's going to give up. Love you all, please hug your family tight tonight and always. Just please keep us in your thoughts. Thank you all.

Brunettewife--sorry to hear about your loss, I'll keep you and your loved ones in my thoughts! Stay strong.


I had an extremely stressful week at work, worked 12 hour days most of the week, and had to face one massive failure. And what does the old Mallory do in the face of stress? Buries it in junk food! And that's what I did this week. I'm feeling like a total failure, and finding it really tough to get motivated and back on track.

Today the plan is to log everything, stay under my calorie goal for the first time this week, and drink at least 12 cups of water. Here we go!

Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday are national holidays here. We're going out of town, so you all probably won't hear from me this week, but I'll be sending all the positive vibes I can muster! Enjoy seeing everyone's jaw hit the floor when all you gorgeous ladies walk into your halloween parties looking as hot as you do!

amcmillan730

hi ladies!!!

Haircut? check. A little shorter than i anticipated... but i like it I uploaded a comparison picture from me at my heaviest to now.

Unfortunately... i have a sore throat... and swallowing or eating hurts. so drinking water... is painful. blah... I'll do my best the next few days. Tomorrow is my favorite kickboxing teachers last sunday I can never miss her tuesday night class again! haha

Hope everyone has a nice weekend.

Brunette - You are def in my thoughts and prayers. Hope things get better .

epa422

Bru, so sorry for your loss and family struggles. Hang in there.

RachVR6

Halloween was fun. The party we went to was kinda lame...so we went to a karaoke bar and had a blast just watching people dance and sing their hearts out. Hope you all had fun!! Here's my pin-upish costume...



Oh and my new shoes I looooove!!!



And one of me and my boyfriend.

MaryAnne1
